I'm not sure what spunge is, but I'll assume it is some type of foam.
Also, i'm not sure what you mean by 2 inch length and width. That's pretty small, so I think there's a small communication problem.
Anyway, for a vocal booth, or shield, I think having a curved type thing: \_/ that you can stand somewhat inside of, is the idea. Having foam on the inner walls of the shield will knock down reflections and such, giving your mic a 1 voice only signal. So you won't have any reflections or echo in your recording.
Here's an image of something similar:

Sep 03, 2009 08:44 am I bought a pop filter from this site called www.editorskeys.com, have been using it constantly since and its actually amazing, I get perfect audio recordings every time! Saves me having to use a full vocal booth set up. Also I managed to pick up this 10% discount code from soundonsound.com I will put it below, think it only lasts another 5 days though

at the moment i have the sponge 2,5 inches thick
do i need to make them thinner.
what if i had it at 1.5 inches thick what do you think
